Motivation
¥
¥Recent CLAS experiments (EG3, DVCS, EG4 etc) requires higher event rate (up to 8kHz) and data rate (up to 35MB/s)
¥Improved DAQ performance gives an advantage for upcoming CLAS experiments (FROST, DVCS-II etc)
¥Increasing luminosity to  >1035cm-2s-1  for CLAS12 requires DAQ running at event rate 10kHz and data rate 100MB/sec
¥New solutions available (pipeline TDCs, VME Readout Controller multiprocessing, new computer/network equipment)
